In a recent Notice to Exporters we advised that changes to SPIRE that would enable you to provide us with information to meet government transparency requirements would be completed in April.
It has since become clear that further development time is necessary and we are now planning to roll out the reporting system in July.
The Export Control Organisation (ECO) has amended the Export Control Order 2008, making a number of changes to Schedule 2 to the main Order which lists military goods, software and technology subject to export controls. Everyone involved in the export of military goods, software and technology will need to take account of these revised control entries.
Exporters of historic vehicles and aircraft will be particularly interested in new decontrols.
The Export Control Organisation has updated the undertaking template for the Open General Export Licence (Military Goods, Software and Technology).
This reflects recent changes made to the OGEL when it was last amended and published in January 2013.
This Notice provides an update on progress towards implementing the facility on SPIRE that will enable exporters to upload data on open licence usage.
The Export Control (Amendment) Order 2013, which comes into force today, replaces Schedule 2 to the Export Control Order 2008, which lists military goods, software and technology that are subject to export controls. Please read this Notice and the Order to check whether any of your goods are affected.
This Notice clarifies the ECO’s guidance regarding strategic export licence applications for controlled military goods made by freight forwarders and other transport providers.

These licences will come into force on 8 March 2013.
